The Victorian Mathematics Games Challenge is an engaging six-part online competition designed specifically for high ability students in Years 5–10.
Teams of 2–4 students will complete a series of self-paced modules, each designed to take between 90–120 minutes to complete.
To minimise teacher facilitation, each task is scored automatically upon submission, with teams and individuals achieving the highest scores being awarded prizes throughout the program.
Released each month, modules are intended to:
- Engage, challenge, and extend a wide range of high-achieving students.
- Deepen understanding across a variety of mathematical curriculum content.
- Develop mathematical skills and proficiencies through games, puzzles, and rich tasks.
- Provide opportunities to apply fluency, creativity, and reasoning to solve novel problems.
- Get students working like mathematicians through unique and challenging activities.
- Celebrate and showcase student achievements via leaderboards and competition rankings.
- Promote collaboration, teamwork, and the sharing of ideas and strategies.
Available to:
- Years 5–6
- Years 7–8
- Years 9–10
Program schedule
Modules will be released each month, and need to be completed within a two-month window.
